Abstract

A comprehensive survey of the educational, historical and sociological issues of Catholic education and teacher training in England. All contributions are from scholars in their respective disciplines and cover topics such as: historical and socio-political perspectives; the role of women's and men's congregations in teacher education; a case study in the provision of Catholic education at St Mary's College; international comparison with the history of Catholic education in the USA; analysis of young Catholic adults and their past and present relationships with Catholic education; and the development of Catholic colleges from their original mission statements as they seek to meet the needs of the current and future populations.
